There are more than a few things to do at the Nonprofit Technology Conference. (What? You haven't registered yet? The regular rate goes up on Monday, so get going!)

Since I started working on the NTC -- and its predecessor, the RoundUp -- almost a decade ago, my very favorite part has been the Day of Service.

Whether you're a social media maven, an online fundraising guru, or a wireless networking champ, you can lend a hand. It's simple:

The Day of Service, a long-time NTC tradition, gave NPTechies the chance to give something back to the New Orleans community. In spite of some weather related travel delays -- apparently, some pilots didn't want to play hide-and-go-seek with tornadoes -- 2008 saw record volunteer turnout for the DOS.

Volunteers traveled to the Community Center of St. Bernard to install a wireless network, others conducted strategy consults with local nonprofits; later in the day, there was also a video blogging work shop. Additionally, a second team of volunteers, led by some great people from Cisco -- who also donated the hardware for the wireless installation -- went back to St. Bernard to train local residents one-on-one.
